Landing Pages for PPC Optimization

To run a successful paid search campaign it is essential to maintain a correlation between the search query/keyword, ad copy, and the landing page. Having precise keywords and ad copy is not enough; you must have appealing, informative and easy-to-navigate landing pages as well. A landing page helps build trust with the user.

The user will “trust” the landing page when:

The content is simple and relates to the ad copy

The ease to book the promotion is one click

A “Book Now” button with a phone number to the website should be highly visible

Create the same look and feel of the website on the landing page with colors, images, and fonts

Along with building trust with the user, the search engine ensures that the landing page for the ad is relevant. Search engines want to provide the best user experience. Part of this is showing relevant ads and sending users to a website with consistent information. The search engine will “reward” advertisers with a lower cost-per-click (CPC) for keywords when there is relevant ad copy and landing page user experience.
